Episode 73: Nylon Mafia

This time, thanks to the KGB research commitee, we can enjoy some very real criminal cases about smuggling in the USSR. It’s pretty great, as we found out that a Latvian/Swedish teacher can just swindle a smuggling gang, and that smuggling gang should be called “Nylon Mafia” anyways. Also, according to theme, here’s a link to our card game – made by a listener John – about smuggling. https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/kontrabanda We hope to work more with the KGB research guys in the future, and while you’re waiting for the next Stalin – enjoy this weird episode!
